Miro for design and the creative field

It's used across the whole organization, as an optional and alternative tool to organize, share and visualize information mainly for academic and investigative purposes. The university offers it to the student body and teachers implement it as needed in their class plans for different purposes (both structured and flexible). In the Design department, it has turned into a staple tool to facilitate the design processes in different fields. It's usually used for mind mapping, brainstorming, to visualize interactions and situations where multiple connections need to be punctuated and where often there's a need to include information in different formats (video, photography, audio, text, illustration, sketching). The number one asset of Miro in this area is the possibility of group collaboration for the creation process, especially in the middle of the pandemic where face-to-face collaboration is restricted. In addition, its graphic and mind mapping tools allow replacing (up to a certain point) design programs that don't have group collaboration features integrated. Overall, Miro becomes valuable in the Design field as it allows to follow and build the design process from the very beginning to the end result in one single place, its flexibility boosting the creative process.

Given the collaborative bases on which the design field is built, being able to work as a team without being in the same place allows for more fluid teamwork and facilitates idea exchange thanks to its tools for concept visualization.
